The Wind Is Our Fuel, Sails are our Engine

The Wind Is Our Fuel, Sails are our Engine

Curiosity is getting a huge upgrade in performance and handling this week. Because our new Ullman sails have arrived!

We’ve taken down and put up our genoa dozens of times, but this is our first time to ever remove our mainsail. Which is original to the boat circa 2005 🙀. Plus, we made a couple of adjustments to the new sail to increase performance in higher wind speeds. So, we find a few surprises along the way.

And, true to most boat projects, fitting them took about three times longer than expected. Which should have been expected. Rookies.

It just so happened, we made a new friend at Great Barrier who is the captain of a modest 138-foot sailboat (and one of our patrons!). Thankfully he offered to give us a hand, otherwise, we would probably still be at it.  (Thank you, Mike!)
